FAQ

What is the conversion factor from lb/s to lt/hr?
1 lb/s equals 1.607143 lt/hr. To convert, multiply the value in pounds per second by 1.607143.
How do I convert 1 lb/s to lt/hr?
1 lb/s = 1.60714 lt/hr. For any value, multiply by 1.607143.
How do I convert lt/hr back to lb/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.6222222. So 1 lt/hr = 0.622222 lb/s.
When would I need to convert pound per second to long ton per hour?
Mass flow conversions between lb/s and lt/hr are common in material balances, process stream summaries, bulk solids handling, custody transfer, and equipment sizing where kg/hr, t/hr, lb/hr, and lb/s may all appear in different datasheets or vendor documents.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
